About this trial
This project is evaluating a new intervention, Peer Support for Whole Health. Peer Support for Whole Health is delivered by peer support specialists, Veterans who are in recovery from mental health or substance use concerns who are employed to help other Veterans. Peer Support for Whole Health uses the Whole Health model to talk about values and self-care in all areas of life. Peer Support for Whole Health is designed to help Veterans who have difficulty with their relationships, work, or day-to-day life and may have behavioral health concerns. Peer Support for Whole Health is designed for Veterans in primary care who are not engaged in mental health or substance use treatment. The goal of this study is to find out whether Peer Support for Whole Health helps Veterans with relationships, work, or day-to-day life. This project will also study whether Peer Support for Whole Health improves well-being and mental health. Finally, this study will seek to understand how Peer Support for Whole Health works and which Veterans it helps the most.
